Control of Horses

Our Bye-Laws, made under the Control of Horses Act 1996, came into effect on 12th January, 1998. The Bye-Laws set out:

to regulate and control the horse population in the Fingal area

conditions for the keeping and stabling of horses

procedures for the impounding and disposal of unlicensed horses

Any person keeping a horse in a Control Area must have

a licence - which costs €31.25 (Licence holder must be over 16 years of age)

a horse passport

suitable accommodation for the horse (A suitable stable with water constantly available & adequate wholesome food or, where the horse is at grass, adequate pasture & shelter for the horse at all times)
